We Continue: Poetry and images of life, love and truth

Poetry and images of life, love and truth Cheryl Hamilton McDonough succinctly and quickly engulfs you in a life's event, immersing you in the moment of experience and feelings. Her intimacy and honesty offer you glimpses of truth and leave you with the desire to really live your life well. Each poem makes you eager to read the next one, to experience the reality contained in the moment to which she has brought you, as she shares with us that we are never not nothing, that life always continues. The artist Erica Eschmann has captured her words with color and form so the senses continue to resonate with the impressions of her poetry, while giving an almost three-dimensional shape to the poems. Each chapter speaks to a particular theme of life: Old Age Cage expresses sorrow and rage as she watches her loved ones enter into inevitable old age, with the discovery that each person's life continues as they live on in our memories. That life's experiences are for a reason, and in the end all we have is our own truth. We Continue articulates the grief and fear, and inspiring hope, as her soul-friend Marguerite battles life-threatening leukemia with a fierce desire to continue with her life. Colors of Love celebrates the sensual sensations of her love and womanhood as they continue to bloom. Goddess is a Verb proclaims her joy and spirituality as she continues to awaken to herself and her being with the awareness that a person's every thought and action counts as we continue in life - and forever.
